The Appeal
The 916 has it all. Designed by Massimo Tamburini. Engineered by Ducati. 109bhp 916cc V Twin. Just 300 of each model built. And a connection to Ayrton Senna. No wonder MCN calls it ‘one of the greatest bikes ever built.’
If you’re in the market for one - and why wouldn’t you be? - then this must be one of the best money can buy. Beyond the specification, the capability and rarity, this example is an exceptionally low mileage Senna with full service history. It sports some light upgrades, including some tasty carbon fittings, but can be easily returned to standard if the buyer wishes.
Apart from a brief period when it was sold to a friend, it has been with the seller since new. Add in a long, advisory-free MOT and you have stunning bike whose appeal is magnetic.
